Morning David
Thanks for getting us started
I slept in longer than I had planned!
Tom has come home to join me for the match. Matt was too tired
Ronny makes the bench
Eriksen and Bruno start
Man Utd XI: De Gea, Shaw, MartÃnez, Maguire, Dalot, Fred, McTominay, Fernandes, Eriksen, Sancho, Rashford.
Brighton XI: Sanchez, Webster, Dunk, Veltman, Trossard, Caicedo, Lallana, March, Mac Allister, Gross, Welbeck
We are off
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
United give the ball away inside four seconds1
Off the side netting!!
Awful from Dalot
Almost a great first pass by Eriksen
I really hope Rashford has a bounce back season
United are already going forward more with pace
Good Morning Dave. Glad to help. Back with brekkies and coffee. How are you this morning?
Bloody hell....what a miss by Bruno!!
COME ON.... BURY THAT
OH! Bruno should have given United the lead off of a pass from McTomain . Wide open at the edge of the box and blasts over
TMissed chances was a problem with United last season and we need to make those count as the Seagulls are good on the break
Gordon Bennet...more keystone top stuff at the back!!
OH! Nice block by Fred from Trossard after United were guilty of shaky defending
Trossard is the one Seagull I would want United to sign. He would be a great addition to the team. He's carrying the other players
I read on the BBC website that Coventry vs Rotherham is postponed due to the condition of the pitch being used for rugged for the Commonwealth games
Come on United
Go forward
Right now it looks like the same old same old
Giving the ball away too easily... in rotten positions
Rugby is also played at Coventry's ground. In fact, it was Wasps that kicked them out when they had to go play home games AWAY
I got the impression from pre-season That Hag ball is like Ralf ball. Also United has already tied it worth a manager whose start was with the Ajax Academy. Why again? It didn't work the first time
Come on United.... let's get going!!!
It was supposed to be a new dawn....same old crap again!
I thought United went forward really fast during preseason. I was pleased to see how they were playing....this the same stuff
WOW! I remember they had played games at what I believe was St. Andrews. Wondering why they didn't play the fixture away. They must have known about the Commonwealth Games for a while
Has Sancho touched the ball.....just heard his name
The Ajax Academy remark was a dig at LVG.I'm thinking the same background must mean a similar philosophy. We shall see
They played at St Andrews, Northampton's Sixfields
Yes Sanco is. Just has not been exactly active
United look so shaky playing around at the back....STOP IT!
Rash still can't see to beat anyone
Thanks Dave. Surely they could have played at one of those venues. Due to the WC schedule they will have a tough time scheduling makeup games
Rash must be exhausted from trying to save the world. Hasn't been he same player since. I'm excited about signing Eriksen
Morning, boys - how's it been so far?
Quick break....bugger
OH! Great break from United. A shame that Eriksen stumbled and his shot was a second late going straight to Robert Sanchez
Good morning, Bob. Similar looking United. How is the family?
McTomainwith a requisite booking for a foul on Caicedo. For a second IO thought he had McTomain poisoning
Why drinkies? I know it's been warmer than average Summer, but this isn't exactly Florida or South Texas. These are professional athletes playing in Manchester
I didn't know that about not coming by bus and especially moving the dug out
In Scotland the Edinburgh Derby finished1-1. One match remaining but the Old Firm will be the top two teams with two matches played in the season.
Brighton take a deserved lead
Just rubbish
BUGGER! GROSS INCOMPETENCE FROM UNITED AS PASCAL SCORES WITH AN EASY TAP IN
Nice move by the Seagulls down the left then not Wellie down by United as they were ball watching off his pass allowing Gross to score with an easy tap in
I don't know about the bus and the dugout either. How did they arrive?
McTom tried to dribble thru thee players in the wrong position
Not the player you want running with the ball. He's better at tackles and passing
Welbeck running the back four ragged
How will Haaland and Salah do!!
Timmy Castegne gives the Foxes the lead , assisted by the Fourth President
Good point. I picked Salah for GBB, but asm wondering if I should have picked Haaland
I would start to start the kids!!!
This is not good
Fred with a rubbish attempt
We look clueless
I really thought it was going to be an improvement
This looks like Ralf ball and LVG ball all over again
Agreed. I was considering picking United to be relegated, but will be if they play like this on a weekly basis
Come on United...score before half time....or at least hit the target once
TWO NIL
Sorry, boys - this is dire. I cannot believe it's happening.
GEEZ
BLOODY HELL ! MORE GROSS IMCOMPETENCE AS PASCAL SCORE SHIS AND SEAGULLS SECOND TOP POUT UNITED TWO UP
Bloody Brighton!
That started from their corner flag
Seagulls playing like United should be . Nice passing down the left then worked out to Lallana whose shot was saved by De Gea then the rebound easily put away by Gross
Erik Ten Hag needs to rattle some teapots and make some chan get at the half. Sadly he doesn't seem like the type to do that. Seems more like OGS who will be too nice in the dressing room
Jim Beglin says it's looking fairly gross for United. I'm better at puns than he is
Ten Hag needs to employ the flying boot in the eye treatment for a few of these players. This is unacceptable.
I need to take Trooper for wlakies will be back for the second half
Beglin needs to stick to his day job and leave the puns to you.
If Bruno had scored that sitter....the match could have been so different
The crowd is so quiet
The players are so quiet
This is just so sad
Half time
Boos
Not as many as there should be
Half time - Unacceptable for Man United.
I'd take all five off at half and stick five fresh players on.
NO CHANGES
Again, if only Bruno had buried the sitter
Right then - we're back on. I expect a reaction.
Get people in the box AND the BALL
Shaw can't beat one man with a cross
Stupid pass by McTom...go wide!
What is Ten Hag playing at?
McTom gives the ball away agiain just outside his own box
Rash needs to get on the end of that one.
Rashford and Sancho have done NOTHING
Almost a great cross by Ericksen
Has the keeper made a save?
SHOOT!!!
Ronaldo getting ready
I would take off McTom
So bad from Sancho!!
They say Fred..either!
Ronaldo is on
Just got back from walkies. I took a picture that says it all about United's performance
I will text you all the picture
If United concede another....bottom of the table!
United get two corners...comes to nothing...was that their first?
Foxes two up
Not a good free kick by Eriksen...has to be better
Poor free kick from Dalot Then the Seagulls break off of Brun's flicks and tricks. Thankfully Erisen showed hassle to get back and stop it
Ten Hag has a face like thunder, and I don't blame him.
I would take off McTom and put on VDB
Struth...how did Rash not score!!!
OH! Rash should have scored . Great pass from CR 7 and great reflex block from Robert Sanchez, but the offside flag wad raised
He is onside!!!
I guess give VDB a chance. Why not? Other than dirksen and CR 7, who else who has shown enough commitment. Maybe De Gea
Rashford had to score there!
Bees pull one back . Now 2-1 Foxes
Who else but Ivan Toney with the Bees goal. Foxes second goal from Dewsbury-Hall, next to Bob's office
Ronaldo has made a difference
AWFUL cross by Dalot!
Rash then misses another one!
Oh, for goodness sake - what a miss by Rashford. And another. I'd fine him for those.
Erik needs to do to Rash what you do to Ten Hags. Get him by the scruff of the neck and rope him in.
BOOM BOOM!
That was stupid by Maguire
Then McTom gets away with ANOTHER foul
Nice save by Robert Sanchez from a long range Eriksen shot then Veltman clears for a United corner
GOAL ! WILL VAR CHECK?
Wahay! You've got one back after a massive ruck. Not sure who stuck it in. Maybe Maguire.
Was it a Maguire goal or a McAllister OG?
Ball is in the net...can't celebrate....will VAR take it away?
It was not a foul....it is an OG
Robert Sanchez complaint he was fouled by Dalot, but guilty of misjudging the flight of the ball. VAR checking for hand ball
Never a handball
It is ridiculous if it is called back
It counts
United have ben better with Ronaldo
VAR check completed . Back to 1-2. School boy keeping by Sanchez and probably com plained to save his blushes
Golden Boot winer so far this season
OG?
Not sure what they're checking - it looked good to me.
OG is on fire!
United need to start CR 7 and not worry about whether or not he is staying ., If he's leaving play him until he leaves
Maguire...heads it the wrong way!
Where's Desmond Tutu when you need him?
other than OG it's the bad boy from the Cottage and Gross . I'm guessing I won't find either of them when tallying the points
Still plenty of time for Desmond .He's elderly , so doesn't have as much pace as he did back in the day
Same score in both matches. Away team leading here and the home team in the other match
Keeper parries...where is a red shirt. It was the center of the goal
Sanchez has been fumble fingers. There's hope if he continues in that vain
Luke Shaw is booked. Not Wellie done with that foul
Good pressure now from United - it's about time.
VDB about to come on
Lmaptey for Lallana and Mwepu for Trossard as Harry Potter shuts up shop
Erik Ten Hag about to send on VDB. It's all Dutch to me
VDB being prepared to come on for the last fifteen minutes.
Replacing McTom...I like it...both crap CDM off
VDB on for McTomain . Dave called that one but a good while ago
5 Subs allowed in three windows
Two windows shut
Bruno down off a foul. He was int hat position more often than not last season
I wish United's defense had been shut in the first half
Awful pass by Sancho!!
Kasper was on the sub's bench for Nice in their 1-1 draw at Toulouse who must have played not to do so.
Not long to go
COME ON!!!!
I like the expression on the face of the one United fan with hands on head. Says it all.
Decent result for Toulouse on their return to Ligue Un
Didn't realize that the Nice equalizer was scored by Aaron Ramsey off the subs bench
I thought Sancho was good!!!
Sancho has been rubbish today - what's up with him?
THREE CHANGES about to made
Same as last season
Ronaldo knocking on the door.
Should have made those three changes at half time.
I wouldn't make changes now
Not enough time
United still dont' have that many players in the box
Peacock a min ute and 20 seconds behind . they're just getting worse and worse
Erik might make changes just try and irk you off. He makes two
What's the point of three changes at the 89th minute!
WHAT'S THE POINT!
Too late!!
Shaw Bruno and Sancho off
Makes no sense...no chance to even touch the ball
SHOULD BE BANNED
Elanga for Sancho and Garnacho for Bruno as well asMalacia for Shaw.
Bees comer from two down to make It Desmond at the KP
Into a quintet of stoppage time minutes
Stupid foul!
Ten Hag deserves to be blasted for waiting till the start ofstoppage time to make a triple change . Far too late
It finishes Desmond at the KP. Would that as a final at OT
United need a goal...no urgency and being out possessed
So pathetic
Derek Doogan.... played for Blackburn
Not Wellie done for Dave's liking as he's subbed by Undav super late
It's over and United start with a 1-2 home defeat to the Seagulls.
That's it
Absolutely rubbish
It is not the manager
IT IS THE PLAYERS!!
They are useless
The opening weekend concludes with the Hammers vs Manscumb Shiteh.
Very well stated, Dave. Agreed.
Sorry, boya - that's a dispiriting start to the season.
Big problems for United
The squad and recruitment are useless
Howard is useless in the studio!!
Thanks, Bob. At least when you hit rock bottom the only way is back up
Just a reminder that Johnno gets a point if Mickey Antonio scores vs Citeh no matter what the result is
The saddest thing about this morning....I'm not that bothered!
I' am a tad because I just texted my brother that United will be fighting a relegation battle if they continue to play like this
Back for the late one, with a hungry friend.
For no reason whatsoever, I started commenting on Friday's link!!!
I said that I noticed yesterday that Drury was not going along with the two numpties jokes....long may it continue
I don't think you ever answered Kissgate!!!
Sorry, I missed the Kissgate question, Dave - what was that?
West Ham doing the typical David Moyes thing - packing the defense and midfield. Of course that's what bottom half will be doing to counter Citeh this season, but West Ham fancy themselves to be a top half side.
Everyone loves City
I find them boring!
Did Macy get a kiss for the second goal?
Did Kate get a final whistle kiss?
Did Steve lose out?
Back for the late match. Sorry for my absence, but received a phone call, but have been watching
Agreed, Dave. I haven't been exactly entertained by what I've seen. I agree with Bob's assessment of Moyes Boyz and expect them to finish somewhere between last season's seventh and tenth place
Hard to assess the Hammers today because just about every side plays that way against Citeh, but should do well against lower half teams
Did you know that Jon Moss retired from refereeing...he is now running his record shop. It is called Vinyl Whistle....clever name
Le Sox trying to be funny... Drury just gives a simple answer...Keep it up Peter
Ball in net
Flag in air
GOAL ! No KDB scores but disallowed for offside from Gundogan who would have had the assist
Arriola , who spent a season on loan with the Cottagers last time out in the prem, on for the injured Flappy
When we lived in Texas a group called Vinyl Spin would play at local concerts, but decent name from John Moss.
WH are soooo boring.
A friend just shared a hilarious sign . It says Now Hiring People That Show up
So are Citeh. I expect Citeh to win though
Just a reinder that a point for Johnno if Antonio scores not matter what the result
That is a clever name - where's his shop?
Penalty to City
Haaland dragged down
He wants to take it
PENALTY !ARRIOLA TRIPS HAALAND . STONEWALL PENALTY
Haaland wins a pen and steps up to take...
Dunno...I was just reading that it was ransacked after he did the playoff final with Forest/Huddersfield
